Chapter 140 I think you prefer me to climb over the wall?
Su Rou went into the room and wrapped herself in the quilt and lay down on the bed. There was no heat in the room, it was like an ice cave.
She seemed to have made Gong Yu angry today.
It was the first time she saw Gong Yu looking at her with that expression...
Su Rou couldn't help but sigh, and fell headfirst onto the soft bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Before daybreak, a maid rushed in from outside the courtyard, "Miss! It's bad! The desert has started a war."
Su Rou drowsily opened her eyes and yawned, "What!?"
The maid quickly lifted the silk hanging on the bed and said, "The Great Desert has taken the initiative to mobilize troops to attack the wall guarded by the Second Master. The Emperor has already ordered the arrest of all the Great Desert people in the city this morning. The Northern Barbarian King has been imprisoned. The general asked you to wash up and go to the front yard. Come, young lady, I will help you wash up."
Su Rou was no longer sleepy in an instant.
Andre has been detained, which seems to confirm her speculation yesterday.
The emperor has been waiting for this opportunity to declare war on the desert.
Su Rou lifted the quilt and got off the bed barefoot.
"Go get a basin of hot water and I'll comb my hair myself."
She didn't know how to style her hair, so she tied it all up, changed into a neat dress, washed her face, and went to the front yard.
All the servants in the mansion gathered in the yard. Except for the second wife, Mrs. Meng, the other two wives also came.
Su Wan was standing in the middle wearing helmet and armor, with a machete on his back, and a horse was ready outside the door.
Su Rou realized that her father was also going to support her second brother.
Seeing Su Rou rushing over, Su Wan put on his helmet and reached out to touch Su Rou's head. "Rou, the emperor ordered me and two other generals to go to the battlefield to support the second brother early this morning. I didn't want to ask them to wake you up, but my father wanted to see you before he left."
Su Rou grabbed Su Wan's wrist and said, "Father, is the situation on my second brother's side very urgent? They even sent you there this time."
Su Wan said, "I can't tell you for now..."
Su Wan's eyes swept over the people standing in the yard.
The eldest brother Su Chong stepped forward and said, "Father, I'll go with you too."
Su Wan cursed, "You little bastard, your injuries haven't even healed yet! Wouldn't it be a hindrance if you go along?! When I'm not around, everyone in the mansion obeys the young lady's orders! If anyone disobeys, they will be punished by military law or executed. This is my right!"
The soldier in charge of patrolling the palace bowed and clasped his hands, "Yes, General, don't worry."
Su Rou frowned. Da Mo had already been defeated once before, so why did they dare to send troops to attack again this time?
Su Rou said, "Dad, take me with you. I'm not hurt."
Su Wan glanced at her and said, "Arou, that's a battlefield. It's not as simple as you think. Daddy, to be honest, with your mediocre skills, you'll only die if you go there. Just stay here. If there's still time, Daddy can bring your second and third brothers back to celebrate the New Year."
He touched Su Rou's head again, and his warm big hand covering her head gave her a sense of security.
Su Wan pulled his hand back, "Okay, father is leaving. Take care of the people in the mansion. Father trusts you."
Su Wan stepped over the threshold of the general's mansion and mounted his horse.
The development of the matter has exceeded her imagination. The emperor sent her father, which is most likely proof that the war is difficult to resolve.
There was no such thing in my previous life. Could it be that the Northern Kingdom would be conquered earlier?
Su Rou turned around and found that Su was also looking at her worriedly.
"Arou..."
Su Rou said, "Mother, the capital will be a little unsafe for the next while. Unless it's an emergency, don't leave the house. All the servants in the house should tell others."
Su Rou felt a little uneasy, so she went to Su Wan's study and found a wooden box on the shelf.
When he opened the lid, he found the jade pendant that he had searched from the maid.
She didn't go directly to the Queen in the palace yesterday because she wanted to keep a backup plan and not hand over the thing for the time being.
Who knows what use it might be in the future.
Su Rou asked, "Is the Second Madam still in the room?"
The maid nodded, "Yes, Miss, do you want to see the Second Madam? I will go and ask the Second Madam to come over."
Su Rou waved her hand and said, "Go away, and do your own things."
Meng has been living in the courtyard of the fourth lady, Su, for some time.
Su Rou stood outside the yard and took a quick look. Meng was standing in front of the window lattice fiddling with the green plants in the pot.
Meng's mental state seemed to be better, but...
Su Rou also felt a headache.
She originally thought that she could use the Meng family's identity to prevent the surrounding small countries from cooperating with the Southern Kingdom.
Now it seems that the South has a powerful helper in the desert, and those small countries are not worth mentioning to the South.
"Miss, His Royal Highness Prince Yu sent someone to deliver some things."
Su Rou waved her hand and said, "Throw them out with all their belongings."
"But Miss... His Royal Highness Prince Yu came here in person, so do we have to throw him out too?"
Su Rou turned her head, and a pair of bony hands held her jaw.
Su Rou raised her head and met Gong Yu's gaze.
She pushed Gong Yu's face away and said, "What are you doing? Weren't you angry when you left yesterday? Why are you here again today?"
Gong Yu let her go, "You are such a heartless little thing. You knew I was angry, but you didn't chase me."
Su Rou said, "Why should I pursue you? Besides, I don't like you..."
She looked away guiltily, and her words became softer and softer, not daring to speak loudly at all.
Isn't this a clear display of Gong Yu's affection for her...
There is a feeling of being spoiled...
Gong Yu said, "I brought you some food, you will probably like it."
Su Rou waved her hand, "I'm not in the mood, you should take it back."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Gong Yu stretched out his arm and placed it in front of her, blocking her way.
Gong Yu said, "Eat it, it will make you feel better."
Su Rou raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms, "What for? If I eat a piece of your cake, can I make the soldiers of the desert retreat?"
Gong Yu curved his eyes and smiled gently, "Who knows."
Su Rou hooked her hand and said, "Come on, take me to try it."
Su Rou sat down in the main hall, and the maid took out exquisite pastries from the food box and placed them in front of her.
Su Rou pinched a piece, put it in her mouth and took a bite, then pointed at the servants waiting in the yard.
"This is the first time you've come through the main gate with your servants."
Gong Yu smiled, "Why do I feel like you prefer me climbing over the wall?"
Su Rou stuffed a large mouthful of pastry into her mouth and said, "I didn't say that."
She finished eating a piece and didn't feel anything strange.
But looking at Gong Yu's expression, she felt that there must be something fishy going on.
Su Rou frowned and swallowed the food in her mouth. "I don't think it's anything special. Don't tell me to eat more cakes."
Gong Yu pointed to the remaining peach blossom cakes on the plate and said, "Eat it. I won't harm you."
She picked up another piece and took a bite, half believing and half doubting. This time, her teeth hit something hard and she couldn't bite it off at all.
She was stunned. She peeled off the crispy crust and found something like a badge inside.
Su Rou ordered the maid, "All of you go down first and close the door."
